Give your favorite ice cream sandwiches a boost with red, white, and blue candy melts and some edible pearls.
Let’s be honest. It gets hot in the summer. While I love to bake cakes, cookies, and cupcakes it isn’t always possible with the summer heat. So for the patriotic holidays I went looking for something that I didn’t have to bake and that would help us cool off.
I saw a super cute picture of an easy flag design on an ice cream sandwich and thought that was a fun idea. I like that it was an individual dessert and that I didn’t actually have to make anything. All I had to do was decorate the ice cream sandwiches.
You really need to work with one color of candy melts at a time and be able to freeze the ice cream sandwiches in between each color you use so that they don’t melt. I started with the blue because you need to make a square on the left side with it.
I unwrapped the ice cream sandwiches and put them on a large cutting board. I quickly worked to put a blue square on each one then sprinkled white pearls on top of the blue. Then I popped them back in the freezer.
While they were chilling I melted the white candy melts. Be careful when melting them. You want them to be just melted. Once this happens put the candy into a zip top baggie, snip off the end, and grab your ice cream sandwiches. Quickly make horizontal squiggles on the ice cream bars. Put them back in the freezer.
Repeat with the red candy melts and then put them in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes. Once this time is up wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and store in the freezer until ready to use.
I found these to be super easy to make and they looked really cute. Put them in a cooler and take them to your next outdoor party or gathering. They are sure to put a hit!
